Andre stated that Paul got up to make a cup of tea and that when he entered the kitchen he spotted his long-term partner lying on the floor.
“He had a cut on his forehead and I thought he was probably just unconscious… I called the ambulance and they said the best chance to keep him alive was to do CPR.”
Andre explained paramedics arrived on the scene and although they managed to get him breathing again it was “short-lived” and Paul was quickly pronounced dead.
